Welcome

This web portal is developed and maintained by the State Safety Office of the Florida Department of Transportation. Its purpose is to serve as a central location for the exchange and sharing of tools, data, information, and ideas among the traffic safety professionals in Florida.

The Safety Office has posted the Crash Points Shapefiles for 2011, 2012 and 2013 in a new format reflecting the 2011 Florida Traffic Crash Report form fields. The new files are available in the Safety Office SharePoint site parsed out by District and County. The statewide files are more broadly available via the Department's Unified Basemap Repository (UBR), and have been posted in the FDOT ArcGIS Online site as well:

*Note: Errors were discovered in the Vehicle and Occupant level off-system shapefiles orignally posted on 3/21/14. Corrected files were posted on 4/15/14. Please check your files to ensure you have the correct versions.
The crash, vehicle and occupant shapefiles for 2012 are now posted in the Unified Basemap Repository (UBR - https://www3.dot.state.fl.us/unifiedbasemaprepository/). These are in the same format as the 2011 files, with a number of flags on the crash-level files to make it easier to query the crashes for certain subsets of data.

The Florida Department of Transportation Safety Office is required to identify and address traffic crashes on public roads that are maintain by state or local entity. However, data for local roads is not always complete; therefore, the FDOT Safety must use innovative approaches to account for this shortfall. The AADT Allocator process was developed in order to better estimate traffic volumes (AADT) for all streets and roads in Florida. The underlying principle of the Allocator process is to use the results of the Turnpike State Model (TSM) statewide transportation model and apply it to all roads and streets in Florida. This document describes the Allocator process. To review documentation of this process, select Publications from the menu and click the "AADT Methodology for All Roads" title under the Policies, Procedures, Disclaimers & Credits section.

Florida Traffic Safety Metadata – Information concerning transportation related safety data across multiple agencies can be found at the "Download" section of the portal (see the link to the left). As of April 1, 2011 Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and the Florida Department of Transportation data is included in the spreadsheet. Future enhancements will include information from other state agencies (Department of Health, and Agency for Health Care Administration).

Protection from Discovery and Admission into Evidence - Under 23 U.S.C. 148(g)(4) information collected or compiled for any purpose directly relating to the information and analyses on this portal shall not be subject to discovery or admitted into evidence in a Federal or State court proceeding or considered for other purposes in any action for damages arising from any occurrence at a location identified or addressed in the reports.
